They have been booked under Section 295 A (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings) and Section 298 (uttering words etc with deliberate intent to wound religious feelings) of the IPC. The case was filed last week by one Munna Lal, police said, adding that they are probing the matter.

An FIR has been lodged in Ajmer city against the director and producers of Bollywood film 'Oh My God' for allegedly hurting religious sentiments.

This is the second FIR against a Bollywood film for hurting religious sentiments this week. Yesterday, an FIR was lodged at Sadar police station in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district against actor Shah Rukh Khan, his wife Gauri Khan, Karan Johar and others for allegedly hurting religious sentiments by depicting Hindu deity Radha in an inappropriate manner in the film 'Student of the Year'.

On Thursday, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj had said that she would raise the issue of attacks on Hindu beliefs in Bollywood movies in the forthcoming winter session of Parliament and had asked like-minded people from various parties to join hands.

"I came to know about the attack on Hindu beliefs in two recent movies - 'Oh my God' and 'Student of the Year'. In the latter, there are references to Radha not knowing how to dance and being invited to the dance floor to learn dancing. Why is it that the attack in films is only on Hindu beliefs and on names like Sita, Radha and Kaushalya," she had asked at the time.

The petitioner has also sought registration of cases against Akshay and Paresh Rawal and director Umesh Shukla.

Chief Judicial Magistrate Intekhab Alam has sought a report on the matter from the Hazratganj police. The next date of hearing the matter has been fixed for Oct 4.

HINDU ORGANISATIONS HOLD PROTEST AGAINST FILM OH MY GOD

Hindu organisations hold protest against film Oh My God

Chandigarh: Hindu activists are up in arms against Akshay Kumar-starrer Oh My God and held a protest in Patiala against the movie.

Members of many radical Hindu organizations tore the film posters in Patiala and raised slogans against the film actors and producers claiming that it hurt the sentiments of the community. They also warned the producers to remove the objectionable scenes from the film or they would not allow it to run in state cinema halls.

Due to protests by several organisations over alleged derogatory references to Hindu deities, the Akshay Kumar-Paresh Rawal movie OMG Oh My God!' could not be screened in major cities of Punjab, even as it was released worldwide on Friday.

The movie could not be screened at Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Amritsar, Nawanshahr, Hoshiarpur and one or two other places of Punjab. In the rest of the circuit that covers Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pardesh, no protest was noticed.

sach kadwa hota hai...some people just cant digest the truth...we are not living in 16th century...the film does not question any religion but reflects only the reality...no one had the guts to tell the truth

I think it is very stupid people are fighting making it seem like the film is targeting a religion just because Aamir is a Muslim. They are making it seem like this is one religion problem. The fact is though all organized religions are corrupt with such fake clerics who brainwash the majority and majority blindly listen.

Its funny how Indians have to prove their secularism. It doesnt matter if the audience has been loving three Khans for more than 20 years and has kept them on top in this unfickle industry, one protest against their work, and they become traumatised victims of minority religion. PK isnt the first movie to be protested against and nor will it be the last. There were protest against Bombay, Earth, Water, Fire, Jodha Akba,Oh My God,Haider, heck even Hate Story 2. And these movies had Hindu actors/directors at their helm. Even a book by Wendy Dongier on Hinduism was banned due to protests by hard liners. There have been protests against leading fashion brands for disrespectful representation of Indian Gods/Goddesses. When you dealing with a sensitive/ controversial issue like religion which effects so many people there are bound to be few ruffled feathers and you should be prepared for that. Right to protest peacefully is as democratic as right to freedom of expresdion. Just as makers have the right and liberty to pick up any subject matter, people too have the right to protest if it offends them. But the protest should be in a peaceful manner and shouldnt infringe on creative freedom of the makers. If certain sections are opposing PK its because they are not happy with subject matter, and those who are trying to give it a communal colour by bringing the religion of lead actor are no better than the hardliners protesting against the movie. Both Raju Hirani and Aamir Khan have received equal no of bouquets/brickbats irrespeective of their religion.

1. First separate it from public protest . How general public treat Amir is not relevant here when we speak about these groups. Do general public have any issue about the movie , popularity of movie reflect no. It is by organised communal groups carried out by groups like VHP , bajrang dal etc.

If we are speaking about them then yes for them content of movie is contentious just like any other movie , so also out of the many reason one is the identity of Amir. Just few instances how they target him .

1. A complaint will go soon to initiate action under PMLA on Aamir Khan
& co for laundering terrorist finance. I hope MoF does not block it.

Do any other movie they vendalised earlier tagged as terrorist funded ? Do any other movie they target say paresh rawal etc by linking ISI etc.

2. Bajrang Dal and Vishwa Hindu Parishad activists intruded into Shree
Talkies in Uttar Pradesh on Sunday evening and disrupted the screening
of the film. They even advised Aamir to go to Pakistan.http://www.ibtimes.co.in/pk-peekay-controversies-how-fans-reacted-protests-against-aamir-khan-starrer-reactions-618601Now do anyone advising any other actor associated in movie , or producer - director to go to pakistan . We may do hawa mai baat say nothing like this happen , but ground level reality is different.

We will get nth number of instances like this

3. Amir himself forced to give clarification as question raised on him.

While the right wing leaders lashed out at Aamir insinuating
that he "insulted" Hindu religion because he was a Muslim, the actor has
said, "We respect all religions. All my Hindu friends have seen the
film and they have not felt the same".

"Even Raju (Hirani) is Hindu, so is Vinod (Chopra) and so is Abhijat
(Joshi). In fact 99 per cent of the crew was Hindu. No one would have
done such a thing," the actor said, referring to the director, producer
and the scriptwriter of the film.

Now if we want to accept the reality or bury head in the sand depends on us .
